Psalmowo 121

1 Mɔzɔha. Mewu mo dzi ɖe togbɛawo ŋu, afi ka nye xɔname atso ava?

A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?

2 Nye xɔname atso Yehowa, ame si wɔ dziƒo kple anyigba la gbɔ.

My help [is] from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

3 Mana wò afɔ naɖiɖi o, eya ame si dzɔa ŋuwò la madɔ akɔlɔ̃e o.

He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.

4 Vavã, eya ame si dzɔa Israel ŋu la, madɔ akɔlɔ̃e loo, alo adɔ alɔ̃ o.

Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.

5 Yehowae nye tawòkpɔla, Yehowae nye wò vɔvɔli le wò nuɖusime

Jehovah [is] thy preserver, Jehovah [is] thy shade on thy right hand,

6 eya ta ɣe maɖu wò le ŋkeke me loo, alo ɣleti le zã me o.

By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.

7 Yehowa aɖe wò le vɔ̃wo katã me, eye wòakpɔ wò agbe ta.

Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.

8 Yehowa adzɔ wò vava kple wò dzodzo ŋuti, fifia yi ɖase mavɔmavɔ me.

Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
